Re: Just a Little Husky
Can I just say that I'm always amazed by your ability to shade stuff like this? I need to go back to school and learn 5% of your skills. Dang...

Re: Boba Fetch
This is excellent. Great illo and awesome title.
Huskies are my favorite dog. Due to living arrangements, I've never owned a dog, but as soon as I live somewhere pets are allowed, BAM. I'm getting a husky.
Therefore, love this shirt.

Instructions Gel Sculpting
Please note: These directions are merely aimed at assisting you with the application of the Nailcosmetics Zimmermann GmbH i.L. products and do in no way replace a professional training. Extensive technical knowledge which exceeds a simple manual is required to apply the professional products on the customer.
With tip and/ or white French tip
Step 1: Disinfection of hands / sterilizer
Use a disinfectant spray to uniformly disinfect the hands. These disinfectant sprays contain a large percentage of alcohol.
Step 2: Removing nail polish or nail polish residues
The nail polish is removed with a cotton pad moist in nail polish remover. All traces of polish have to be removed.
Please note: You can protect your own nail polish by placing the cotton pad on the middle finger between the index finger and the ring finger.
Step 3: Treating the cuticles/ cuticle pusher rosewood stick
The cuticle is pushed back using a cuticle pusher, do not cut. The cuticle pusher is applied to remove the cuticles from the natural nail. Use a cuticle remover if required to remove the cuticles easily. Be careful to push the cuticle back on all sides on the natural nail as the gel might otherwise lift in parts.
Step 4: Removing the shine / mattifying / filing
The surface layer of the nail has a shiny film. For optimal adhesion it is necessary to remove this surface shine. We recommend a 100/180 grit fine file or a buffer (100 grit) to gently remove the natural nail shine, filing in the direction of the nail growth. Caution !!!: Do not file off the entire surface layer of the nail, but only the shine.
Step 5: Removing filing dust / dust brush
Remove the filing dust using a dust brush.
Step 6: Degreasing/Cleansing (Removing the sticky layer / dispersion layer)
The prepared nail is degreased with the Cleaner and a lint-free cotton pad, removing any remaining dirt and dust particles from the nail. Thorough cleansing is essential as the only way to ensuring long-lasting, beautiful artificial nails.
Step 7: Selecting the tips
The tip is chosen according to shape and curve of the natural nail. The tip should have an exact fit on the natural nail, not covering the cuticle on the sides, but rather fitting to the sidewalls exactly. For the perfect fit, the tip should be "tried on", placing the tip on the natural nail without adhesive. The perfect tip will look like a natural extension of the natural nail.
Please note: Should the size of the natural nail be between two different tip sizes, chose the larger tip and tailor it with a file to fit.
Please note: The tip should never cover more than half of the nail bed. Shorten it with a file if necessary.
Please note: Pre-blend the contact area of the tip before gluing it onto the nail to save time when blending the tip with the natural nail.
Please note: If the curve of the natural nail differs from the tip, cut a small V-shaped incision into the contact area. The tip will be more flexible and easily adjustable to the nail bed.
Step 8: Gluing the pre-tailored tips / adhesive
Hold the tip between the thumb and index finger with the contact area facing downwards. Apply adhesive to the contact area and spread evenly with the glue nozzle. (Apply adhesive amply).
Turn the tip around and hold at an angle of approx. 45 degrees to the nail. Place the tip on the natural nail area without adhesive. Then slide it downwards until it "snaps" into place. Once the tip snaps into position (it is clearly audible and can be felt in the fingers), press the tip to the natural nail lifting it (bottom-up, but do not lift abruptly), fixing it in that position for a few seconds. Be careful to apply the tip slowly so the adhesive spreads evenly to avoid the formation of air bubbles on the contact area between the tip and the natural nail.
Please note: When treating heavily curved nails the tip should have a perfect fit at the front on the nail edge. Overlaying parts can be filed off where needed.
Step 9: Trimming the tips / nail cutter
The tips are trimmed with a nail cutter to the desired length. The professional nail cutter permits cutting the tip in different shapes, saving plenty of filing time. The remaining edges can be filed to fit the desired nail shape.
Step 10: Blending the tip with the natural nail / filing
File the tip on the natural nail to blend the seams on the well area (contact area). Caution !!! Only file the tip, and not the natural nail itself to avoid injuries to the fingernail through excessive filing. Alternatively a tip blender can be applied. Brush the tip blender across the seam line, leave to absorb shortly and finish blending with the file. The tip blender is applied to assist the filing.
Use a 100/130 grit file (buffer) to completely mattify the tip for an enhanced adhesion between the gel and the tip when applying the primer. Roughen all shiny spots on the tip with the file for a matte appearance
Step 11: Removing dust / dust brush
Remove the filing dust with a dust brush.
Step 12: Degreasing / Cleansing (Removing the sticky layer / dispersion layer)
The nail to be treated is degreased with the cleaner and a lint-free cotton pad, removing any remaining dirt and dust particles from the nail. Thorough cleansing is essential as the only way to ensuring long-lasting, beautiful artificial nails.
Step 13: Applying the primer
Apply the primer sparingly to the natural nail. Start on the middle of the natural nail towards the cuticles. The primer is available as liquid with brush or as pen. It flows on the natural nail. Caution !!! The primer is an acid (approx. pH-value 6). Avoid the liquid from running into the cuticle as this might cause an unpleasant burning sensation. Allow the primer to dry naturally (do not dry in the UV curing device). Do not touch the area with the primer with your own fingers (oily !!!)
You can now choose between a sculptured nail with or without white tip. If you prefer a white tip, please continue on step 14, go on to step 16 for an application without white tip.
Step 14: Zimmermann French Arktic White UV Gel
For a beautiful white French tip, use the Zimmermann French Arktic White.
The French gel is applied on the edge of the tip or the natural nail, either with the brush or preferably with the spot swirl or the angular brush, drawing the smile line at the curving shape of the natural nail. This is called the French tip.
Cure for 2 minutes. The so called dispersion layer (sticky layer) forms on the gel. Do not remove the layer as the foundation layer (step 16) will be applied on top to adhere to.
Step 15: Cure the gel in the light curing device
Apply the French tip individually to each finger. Place the finger in the light curing device for 2 minutes to cure the gel. Most UV curing devices have been pre-set to this time. Trick: Cure every finger for only 10 seconds. Once the French white tip has been applied to all fingers, repeat the curing process for 2 minutes on all fingers simultaneously. (high time factor)
Step 16: Apply the Zimmermann 1 Phase Gel
Caution: Keep the gel jars closed during the application. Gel might harden!!!
Apply one thin layer of the Zimmermann 1 Phase Gel (priming layer) and cure for 2 minutes, do not cleanse. Apply the 1 Phase Gel to every finger. (build-up layer)
Take the Zimmermann 1 Phase Gel with a brush and form a ball, place on the middle of the nail. Sculpture the gel on the nail, first in the direction of the cuticle, then in the direction of the free edge until the whole nail is covered.
Ensure to leave a gap of approx. 0.5 to 1 mm between the cuticle and the gel and do not apply any gel to the cuticles on the side walls or the back. If this occurs, remove immediately with a rosewood stick to keep the specified gap. Cure for 2 minutes.
Please note: Place one hand in the UV curing device whilst treating the other hand. We recommend using two UV curing devices when treating customers to ensure the customer's comfort and to save time.
Step 17: Removing the perspiration layer with cleaner
Remove the so called perspiration layer, a sticky surface caused by the hardening process, with cleaner and a lint-free cotton pad. Ensure that the perspiration layer is thoroughly removed from the nail.
Step 18: Shaping the nails
During the curing process, gel might run into the sides, giving the nails a slightly unshaped appearance. The nail needs to be filed for its final shape. Be aware that nails grow straight. Do not hold the file in an edged or angled position to avoid filing corners and edges into the customer's nail, which will destabilize the nail and quickly result in breaking the nail. File the free edges only to refine the nail. The filing movements will determine the nail shape. Do not file the nail randomly from left to right, but instead follow the nail's natural curve to leave the nail with a very natural look.
Step 19: Correcting the nail length
Considering that every nail is filed individually, prospective nail technicians in particular, keep the nails on slightly different lengths on both hands. Cross the individual fingers of the hand to spot and correct differences immediately.
Step 20: Removing filing dust / dust brush
Remove the filing dust using a dusting brush.
Step 21: Removing the dirt particles with the cleaner
Degrease the prepared nail with the cleaner and a lint-free cotton pad, removing any remaining dirt and dust particles from the nail. Once again, thorough cleansing is essential as the only way to ensuring long-lasting, beautiful artificial nails.
Step 22: Cleansing and grinding (only if you have a nail grinder)
Cleanse the natural nail from underneath using a nail grinder. Be careful not to grind away the entire nail nor to injure the nail bed. Then seal the nail from underneath, applying nail adhesive underneath the nail with a rosewood stick and spread evenly. This does not only increase the durability of the sculptured nail, but further enables the customer to remove any dirt that might accumulate underneath the nails with a nail brush.
Step 23: Removing the dirt particles with the cleaner
Degrease the prepared nail with the cleaner and a lint-free cotton pad, removing any remaining dirt and dust particles from the nail. Thorough cleansing is yet again essential to ensure long-lasting, beautiful artificial nails.
Step 24: Applying gloss / sealing
Apply the Zimmermann 1 Phase Gel with the gel brush to seal the sculptured nail in one go from the back to the free nail edge, similar to nail polish. This layer should be applied very thin on the nail. As this gel is self-levelling the nail does not have to be filed.
Step 25: Cure gel in the light curing device
Once the Zimmermann 1 Phase Gel has been applied to all nails, the whole hand is placed in the light curing device for 2 minutes.
Step 26: Removing the perspiration layer with cleaner
Remove the so called perspiration layer, a sticky surface caused by the hardening process, with cleaner and a lint-free cotton pad. Ensure that the perspiration layer is thoroughly removed from the nail. Never clean the brush with cleaner, always use a brush cleaner. The gel and brush will otherwise be of no use.
Step 27: Apply a nail polish or sunblocker
The nail polish can be applied as desired. The last gel layer adds a glossy shine to the nails. Apply our UV special sealer (high gloss sealer) to protect the nail surface.
Sunbathers or solarium users should always apply the sunblocker and air-dry. The sunblocker protects against yellowing (UV-rays, such as sun rays or solarium light).
Should the customer want some colour, apply the nail polish first, followed by our sunblocker for a special glossy effect, even with the polish. The sunblocker further ensures high shock resistance and thus long durability and rejoice in beautiful nails.
The nails are refilled with gel after approx. 2-3 weeks.
Step 28: Applying oil and hand massage
The nail sculpting is now complete. Apply nail oil to the nails and the cuticle area in particular, massaging in the oil. The massage can also be performed on the hands as a relaxing way to complete the application.

Shutdown doesn't stop veterans from visiting World War II Memorial
Washington - The plaza outside one of the entrances to the National World War II Memorial was speckled Thursday with yellow T-shirts and jackets worn by veterans from the Honor Flight of Southern New Mexico.
The veterans visited the memorial, which along with 400 other national parks, monuments and historic sites, has been closed since Tuesday, after Congress failed to reach an agreement to continue to fund government operations.
On Tuesday, amid the first government shutdown since 1995-96, groups of veterans who came from around the country to visit the memorial found themselves on the outside looking in. The memorial was closed, its entrances blocked with wrought iron barricades and police tape.
But with the help of members of Congress, veterans groups that had planned trips to the memorial have been permitted to visit, despite the barriers that block most tourists from getting in.
"I think it was a dog and pony show to lock the gates and make it so people can't see a memorial that is wide open," Christopher Coutu, a former Connecticut state representative and founder of the Norwich nonprofit American Warrior, said. "It's what usually happens, all the government agencies try to show, 'look here are the consequences,' and they overdramatize it. Here is an example where they went too far."
American Warrior has been organizing "Day of Honor" trips to Washington since 2006 so World War II veterans can visit the memorial, built in 2004 in their honor.
All 401 national parks, monuments and historic sites are closed and more than 20,000 parks employees have been furloughed because of the shutdown, according to a statement from National Park Service spokeswoman Carol Johnson.
"Without staff or funding to ensure the safety of visitors, the security of the memorials, and the continued operation and maintenance of park facilities, the memorials on the National Mall - just like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon - are closed," Johnson said in the statement.
Carol McCarthy of Pawcatuck left for the capital on Thursday to bring her father Joseph to a reunion of veterans who served aboard the battleship USS Indiana during World War II. McCarthy is a former Day employee.
While the most important part of the reunion - the reading of the names of recently deceased shipmates - will take place at a memorial unaffected by the shutdown, she said, the closures have cast some doubt on the rest of the trip.
"We're supposed to go to the World War II memorial Friday morning, veterans and their families, but I don't know if that is still happening," she said. "We'll just have to take it as it comes. They're greatest generation people. They're used to rolling with the punches."
Carol Bottoms of Richmond, Va., came to the memorial on a planned trip with her husband, a World War II veteran. They were unable to enter the memorial and had to settle for taking pictures from outside the barriers.
"This is disgusting," Bottoms said. "Our funds paid to put these barricades up. We should be able to take them down."
Though technically the memorial is closed, groups of veterans with the Honor Flight Network, like the group from New Mexico, are being allowed to tour the site.
"The Honor Flights are being granted access to the WWII memorial to conduct First Amendment activities in accordance with National Park Service regulations applicable to the National Mall and Memorial Parks," Johnson said.
That is welcome news to the 3,560 World War II veterans scheduled to pay their respects at the memorial this month, according to Jim McLaughlin, chairman of the board for the Honor Flight Network.
"They tell us (the memorial visit) is one of greatest days of their lives. It is absolutely life-changing for many of them to have the opportunity to see the memorial there and to recognize their comrades who didn't come home," McLaughlin said. "It gives them a great deal of peace of mind and it gives them closure."
Coutu said that, had one of his groups been denied entrance to the memorial, he would have moved the barricades himself, even at the risk of arrest.
"It is a tribute to that generation that nothing will stop them, even at 90-plus years old," he said. "They've seen a lot worse days. Throughout their lives, they have had to overcome extreme obstacles, and in the end, they have always represented what America is all about - that continuous fight to keep moving forward."
Coutu founded American Warrior in 2006 when he visited the World War II memorial and realized there were no veterans there. Since then, the group has led nine trips to Washington and will make its 10th trip in April.
"We will have brought 1,000 Connecticut World War II veterans to the memorial," he said. "And it all just started out with a dream that we could send one."

Sunora Energy Solutions Completes Educational Solar System
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Charter School in New Orleans Unveils New Solar System and Playground
Feb 07, 2013, 08:00 EST
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sunora Energy Solutions just completed a solar photovoltaic installation at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Charter School for Science & Technology in New Orleans. The installation, donated by NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE : NRG ), Sunora Energy Solutions, and others was unveiled on Saturday, February 2nd and will provide hands-on solar energy education for the school's students, as well as solar power to help reduce the school's utility bill.
The solar installation at the Martin Luther King, Jr. school is comprised of 397 solar panels, which will generate 112kW of power, enough to handle one-third of the school's peak electricity demand with renewable solar energy. The installation also features an outdoor classroom in the new garden area with an irrigation system powered by the solar system using reclaimed water, educational components, and other playground upgrades.
Sunora Energy Solutions designed and managed the installation in addition to fabricating and preassembling the solar arrays. The solar panels were installed in less than four days and the entire project was completed in five and half weeks.
"Our team was able to quickly move from idea to installation with minimal disruption to the school using Sunora's Modular Solar Solution," said John Plumlee, Sunora Energy Solutions CEO. "Utilizing our standardized approach we are able to prefabricate the solar arrays at our off-site facilities, in this case Phoenix, AZ, then rapidly deploy the system, minimizing cost, time and impact, which is really important in a situation such as this where classes are on-going during construction."
Rapid on-site deployment has also been a critical success factor for other Sunora clients including the owners of an NFL stadium where the Sunora Solar Carpark coverings had to be installed in the stadium parking lot without any disruption to the season's game schedule and tailgating parties.
"We are so excited and pleasantly surprised that we could have solar without having to go to a rooftop installation," said Dr. Hicks, the school principal. "The structure is so perfect and went up so quickly. It will prove to be beneficial for us financially and as a educational center piece well into the future."
Saturday's dedication ceremony was conducted by David Crane, NRG President and CEO; and included Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints Quarterback and Dr. Doris Roche'-Hicks, CEO, Principal of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Charter School for Science and Technology and John Plumlee, CEO of Sunora Energy Solutions.
Sunora Energy Solutions, who worked in conjunction with NRG, was supported by DLR Design Group in the engineering, and Core Construction in the construction of the installation. The solar panels were donated by Trina Solar (NYSE : TSL ). Common Ground Relief was responsible for the gardens and wetland education components and the project was inspired by the ongoing work Global Green USA has been leading in the lower Ninth Ward.

- Clone: Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they're doing. Do things without always knowing how they'll turn out.
- Megan: Why tell me this?
- Clone: You're curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. There are so many adventures that you miss because you're waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go.
- Megan: So, wait, what is this place? Am I going to wake up thinking this was a dream?
- Clone: This is... Think of this as after the game, outside the theatre. To go in, I had to suspend disbelief, forget the outside.
- Megan: So you... Huh. Why give me hints I'm going to forget?
- Clone: You'll forget this trip but I think the hints should stay with you.
- Megan: ...If this is a game, are you— are we— cheating?
- Clone: Yup.
- Megan: Is that a good idea?
- Clone: Well it's an interesting one. We'll see how it goes.
- Megan: Well, I guess I'll see you aroun—
- Megan: Wait a minute; have you brought me here before?
- Clone: I... maybe. once.
- Megan: For another hint?
- Clone: Er. Actually we just made out.
- Megan: We wh--

Autumn Spice Pear Crisp
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: Growing up outside Philadelphia, every Fall, Sweetzels Spiced Wafers made it onto grocery store shelves and my mom always brought a box home. They are a little -more- than a ginger snap...a little spicier. Despite the fact that I now live in Los Angeles, I still get a box (or two) of those cookies when Fall comes, thanks to mom. You can easily substitute ginger snaps in this recipe. Totally made to top vanilla ice cream, though I could see it atop vanilla pudding too. —Katey501
Makes: one 8 x 4 loaf pan
Bartlett pears, cut in bite-size pieces
tablespoons butter, room temperature
cup Spiced Wafers crumbs (or ginger snaps)
cup sliced almonds
tablespoons flour
teaspoon cinnamon
pinches nutmeg
pinches ginger
tablespoon Amaretto liqueur (optional)
- Slice pears into bite-size pieces and saute with 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat until slightly softened.
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and coat loaf pan with butter. In food processor or blender, pulverize spiced wafers. About 12-14 2 1/2-inch cookies should get you about a cup of crumbs.
- In small bowl, mix cookie crumbs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and flour. When combined add 2 tablespoons butter and with fingers, mix to make rough and crumbly.
- Add almonds and liqueur (if using) to crumb mixture and combine well.
- Line bottom of loaf pan with thin layer of crumb mixture, then spoon pears in. Top fruit with remaining crumb mixture and bake for 30 minutes.
- Let cool in pan for 10 minutes before spooning over a heaping bowl of ice cream.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Pears

Credits: 3
Fall 2016: Tu,Th, 10:00-11:20, Marsh Rotunda
Fall OCI Listing
This course introduces the study of forest stand dynamics—how the structure and composition of different forest types change over time (from regeneration to old growth). Understanding the dynamic nature of forest stands is important for creating and maintaining a variety of critical wildlife habitats on the landscape, managing for sustainable supplies of wood products and other forest values, or predicting the risks and managing the effects of natural and anthropogenic disturbances. Through lectures, discussions, and field trips we explore forest development processes and pathways, concentrating on the biological mechanisms driving forest structural change and the roles of natural and human disturbances in initiating and altering stand development trajectories. We make use of New England forests as living laboratories, while discussing how similar patterns and processes of forest development are played out in forests around the globe.
F&ES 660 is a prerequisite for:
F&ES 661: Analysis and Development of Silvicultural Prescriptions
F&ES 954: Management Plans for Protected Areas (includes Friday and Saturday Field trips)
F&ES 969: Rapid Assessments in Forest Conservation

She is on steroid! Since the day we did this interview with her, she bagged her 1st ever gold trophy in TMC! Who is she? Your beloved mummy!
Congratulations, Cornelia, for bagging yet another gold trophy in WPC last week. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clapping.gif) It was a terrific topic. I hope your husband enjoyed it as much as we did.
He enjoyed it a lot, actually! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to do this interview with you. Peeps are waiting, shall we begin?
Yep, bring it on...
Great! For those who aren't familiar, can you please give us a bit of background on yourself?
Hmmm... what can I tell you, that isn't against the law... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) . Well, I'm a barkeeper, but lately I don't work very often anymore. Which sure is healthy for me, 'cause I drink much less then I used to. Other than that I was always interested in all kinds of arts and tried working with pretty much every material there is. Finally I got stuck with digital design. I guess that's because I suck with everything else. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) I mean something you create at the computer can't just fall apart after a few days...
Barkeeper? Can I introduce Sven (ssivic) to you? He can take all the beers for you. (IMG:http://www.emoticons.free.fr/smileys/Emotion-Happy/biggrin.gif)
You have a very unique username. I have seen people start calling you mom. So why your_mother?
That started when me and my husband were making short movies together. We called ourselves "Mother 'n' Brother Productions". Somehow that just stuck with me. And I still think it's funny if people say things like: "Your Mother made that theme". I can't remember how we had the idea for the name in the first place, tho.
I see! So how did you find M9? What makes you stay so active in this community since joining in Jan '08?
I first made a few themes for myself, but got pretty quickly bored of my own taste. So I was wondering if I could make themes for other people as well. That's when I found Mobile9. I was absolutely fascinated how many people suddenly have access to my work and that they are interested in what I'm doing. By now I can't imagine not to be part of M9 anymore. I think the biggest reason why I stay is the challenge it offers. I get motivated again and again to try out something new and learn more. I don't think I would have made any progress without all the comments of the people here. Or the examples set by the great designers in this community. And besides that I love it, that there are people from all over the world. So many different cultures and still we all get along just fine. It's interesting.
Indeed! M9 is like a big family. Looking back, Leopard is your first TMC entry. It does seem you already have good foundation in thememaking / UI designs back then. Is that true?
Well, like I said before, I made a few themes for myself. But I didn't know much about it, really. The thing is, that I'm designing flyers and such since a very long time. Also I made the web page for the bar I'm working. So maybe I had a basic knowledge of things that just don't work well...
Right, apart from learning from your own experience in designing flyers & web page, is there anyone in M9 who has had a strong influence on your work?
Phuuu.... now that is a very hard question. I could not give you a single name. Besides I really try to have my own style. But of course there are always themes and wallies I absolutely adore and I wish I'd be able to create something like that. For example:
Pretty much all the wallpapers of AXR
Rhythm by CrazEric
Heaven by Kashif85
Gear Animated by Tyronne................... Love it!!!!
FireSkull by Longhairsteff
Jet by Bishop Bacon
And there would be a thousand more. Especially themes, since I'm not a very good themer anyway...
Not a good themer? Hehe, try saying that now and peeps will want to know who did you bribe to get your 1st gold in TMC. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Your 3 favourite themes so far?
Little big Planet
Because I just love the style of that game and I think I could recreate that pretty well.
I was always very fond of grungy stuff and I like that kinda dirty look about that theme.
Hmmm... I don't know why. It just looks good.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
Besides making themes, you also participate in WPC and have achieved huge success in there. 6 golds, 6 silvers & 2 bronzes! Can you tell us your process of creating an entry?
I usually start by searching images that fit the topic. Normally I download around ten times more images that I actually use in the end. And it's always all kinds of stuff. I don't know why but I have a very hard time planning in front. So, after downloading I open all the pics in Photoshop and just start working on it. Again, completely without any plan. In that phase I realise which things really don't work at all. Normally the idea of what I'm gonna do with the image comes while cutting it. And then I search for more images. This time with a plan... It's all very chaotic... I'm also glad nobody can see the layers I have in Photoshop. I usually don't know what is what myself... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
Your 3 favourite wallpapers so far (those you have created)? Why?
Basketball Insects
It win only bronze in WPC, but it's my personal favorite. 'Cause it's kinda weird and still looks pretty real.
Retro Handy
I'd love to have one of those...
That one was pretty easy to make, but I think the mood and colours in it are beautiful.
Your style appears to be predominantly vintage. Why is this? You're certainly very good in this style. Will we see you experimenting other styles in the near future?
I guess I go so much for the vintage style because I like it very much myself. Besides it's easier to hide mistakes if you have a lot of dirt and unclarity in an image... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) And yeah, I'm always happy to try different stuff, but lots of times I'm just not happy with the result. Will see what the future brings...
You live in a beautiful country, Switzerland. What do you enjoy doing other than designing themes & wallpapers?
Nothing. Themes and Wallpapers are my whole life. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) No, seriously, I spend very much time walking with my lovely little dog. I like sewing (I mainly make ugly bags, but at least they don't fall apart...) and playing PC Games and of course I go out and get stone drunk once in a while. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheers.gif)
Thank you for your time, Cornelia! If there's anything you'd like to add, go ahead.
Thanx for the interview! I feel honored to get one!! And, well, I hope I didn't bore everyone.
Cheers, Cornelia!
EDIT: Additional Questions From CrazEric
How many tattoos do you have and what are they?
Allright... I have six tatoos. A dragon on the right leg, some skulls with a weird tribal on the left leg, another skull on my neck (back), a thing that I painted on my left shoulder (really don't know what it is), the number 83 between my thumb and my fingers and my back is completly covered with wings and a sword in the middle... That enough for you? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
What is your favourite drink and how many do I have to buy you before I can take advantage of you? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/whistle.gif)
My favorite drink is Jack Daniels and I'm pretty sure I could drink all of you under the table...
And are you happily married to Huevo or do I still have a chance? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil2.gif)
I am very happily married, but with your murderous qualities I'm sure you can find a solution for that problem... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evil_2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Selena Gomez Threw Away Justin Bieber's Presents To Her After Split
Selena wants to completely remove Justin from her life! A source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that she's been throwing away the gifts he gave her throughout their relationship. Read on for all the inside scoop.
Selena Gomez is a girl on a mission. She is so intent on removing Justin Bieber from her life — and making sure he never returns — that she's taken to throwing away gifts and mementos from her hunky ex! Is she being cold-hearted or practical?
A source close to Sel, 20, spoke HollywoodLife.com exclusively about the recent photo she shared of herself wearing a hat from Justin's hometown, giving him the ultimate kiss-off. Our insider says that photo meant one thing: Selena is over it.
"It means she's done with that boy, bye-bye," the friend says. "She's thrown away a lot of his stuff, too, and she doesnt want it because he's a liar and treated her badly. She is done and doesn't want him anymore. She's moving on." Point well made!
Justin Bieber's Trying To Win Selena Gomez Back
Justin, 18, has been trying all he can to win Selena's heart back, to no avail. As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, the heartthrob wrote three new songs for Selena on his recently-released Believe Acoustic album and tried desperately to get her to listen to them, but she refused.
"He keeps trying to get her to listen to his acoustic record…and she's just ignoring it, and him," a source told us. "She's over it." Clearly!
One of the new songs written — the super-romantic "Nothing Like Us" — is very clearly about Selena. Justin croons on the track, "I have you everything, baby, everything I had to give. Girl why would you push me away? Lost in confusion, like an illusion, you know I'm used to making your day."
Do you think it's cruel that Selena's throwing away Justin's gifts, HollywoodLifers? Or is it just the easiest way to get over him?

The subtext of this piece seems to be that Americans are perhaps more fond of authoritarianism than they claim to be. If so, are we looking at a more "neo-reactionary" future?
So Much For SubtletyThomas Sabo Bead blue pufferfish blue K014966731 Thomas Sabo hDlPkYlqQM
Maybe the subtext is that Congress-critters are so good at polling and focus groups that they give their electorate exactly what they want, or something like it. So everyone is complacent about actually voting? Why bother if your local Congressman is doing exactly what he should?
To the extent that people are paying attention, they are very unhappy. Congressional approval ratings are very, very low and have been for a long time. They have rarely exceeded 20% since 2009.
I think the lack of attention may be due to the opposite: despair about getting any desirable outcome from the legislature.
But then why is approval of the job Congress is doing hovering near historical lows the past few years?
Members care about their own individual popularity among their own constituents, not about the popularity of Congress as a whole among the population as a whole.
JanRoberto Cavalli Woman Ruched Snakeprint Jersey Turban Animal Print Size ONESIZE Roberto Cavalli PyYmKSWO1
Of course more people are happy with their own representative, as their positions should to some degree reflect the electorate there.
But people's disapproval of their representative has also declined bigly. https://news.gallup.com/poll/167024/record-low-say-own-representative-deserves-election.aspx
The tax bill was not popular??? "the economy is doing fine anyway"??? Duh! The economy is doing fine thanks to the very popular tax bill. There is a segment where that bill is not popular; those people who do not pay taxes but live off taxes fdon't like it.
Sean Spicer!
Good to see you landed on your feet. Here in the real world, the tax bill remains astonishingly less popular than Obamacare, and Trump is on the verge of being indictedThe blue wave is about
If you personally borrow, say, a couple hundred grand, and go out to dinner, buy a BMW, buy your wife a diamond ring, your personal economy is going to "do fine."
Perhaps many Americans realize that this tax bill is just layering liabilities onto their children and their children's children and thus is not all that popular? Or perhaps they realize they got a 2 or 3 or 5% tax cut and corporations got a 40% tax cut? Perhaps the tax cut has been absorbed by higher gas prices. Or lower soybean prices. Or maybe, and this is most likely, they really don't know any of this and the tax cut is too small to really make much difference in their personal finances.
The economy was doing just fine before the tax bill too. Heck that was less than a year ago. Surely 2017 has not passed out of living memory.
"Congress-critters are so good at polling and focus groups that they give their electorate exactly what they want"
Actually, their polling and focus groups probably tell them that different groups want different things and that angry voters are more likely to vote than complacent ones, so that the path to re-election is to anger as few voters as possible. To avoid angering voters with conflicting desires, they pass legislation that proclaims unobjectionable goals but designates all power and decisions about how to achieve those goals to executive agencies and/or the President, in turn creating the Imperial Presidency.
The Imperial Presidency leads to Bigger Government than one led by Congress because it is easier for one person to act than for 535 Congress persons to agree on something. When faced with Big Government, attention (properly) turns to the Judiciary to Limit it.
If only the judiciary were mainly about limiting the power of the other branches...
What would be an example of the Judiciary expanding Government's powers beyond what the President or Congress wanted? The President or Congress asserts a power first, and the Court can either allow it or block it. Without judicial review, the political branches' actions wouldn't be blocked anyways, so judicial review can only limit what the other branches do.
Court-ordered busing might be an exception. Even in that case, one could argue that the courts were limiting the ways in which government could assign students to government schools, not requiring that government establish schools, with busing, in the first place.
"different groups want different things and that angry voters are more likely to vote than complacent ones"
This explains the strategy of trying to get people angry in just the right way.

No frills Rackable makes flashy Terrascale buy
Plain kit, sweet file system
Rackable Systems this week made an unusual acquisition for a no nonsense server vendor. It bought flashy storage software maker Terrascale for $38m in cash.
You don't expect a company such as Rackable to go this deep with its software products. Rackable is kind of a like a revitalized Dell, selling cheap systems by the hundreds to major service providers such as Yahoo! and Microsoft. If sophisticated management software is what you want, then you look to an IBM, HP or Sun Microsystems as a supplier.
That's the unusual side of this deal.
On the other hand, this could be one of the more practical moves we've seen from a server vendor in a long time. Rackable has been looking to increase its storage sales at a quicker clip. In its most recent quarter, Rackable saw storage sales jump to account for 11 per cent of its $89m in revenue - up from 7 per cent in the same period last year. Having Terrascale's wares on its side could help accelerate the storage push.
Terrascale sells a combination of storage appliances and file system software to improve the performance of data sharing in large clusters. The company's main pitch centers around alleviating the I/O bottlenecks that arise out of connecting hundreds of x86 servers to limited numbers of storage systems.
"Leveraging best of breed hardware components, bundled with Terrascale's TerraGrid cluster file system software, individual Storage Bricks - ranging from 740 Gigabytes to 5.0 Terabytes of formatted, usable capacity - deliver in excess of 150 Megabytes per second I/O to Linux clusters," the company says in its best marketing speak. "With TerraGrid, multiple Storage Bricks, each of which is presented to cluster nodes as a 'virtual disk', can be combined to create a single (up to 18 exabytes = 18 million terabytes) global name space file system that spans all bricks assigned to a specific configuration. TerraGrid dynamically layers data across the bricks to load balance I/O, and aggregate throughput into the file system can exceed 10 GigaBytes per second!"
We're talking about a company very excited by its own products!
Like Rackable, Terrascale plays in the high performance computing market, making the two companies a solid fit.
Rackable also has the option of buying a product Terrascale had under development called Distributed Parity Engine (DPE). It will evaluate the software and fork over $9m if it likes what it sees.
Shares of Rackable have recovered a bit from the devastating blow they took back in July. At the time, Rackable warned that increased competition from the likes of Dell and Sun had slowed its torrid growth rate. Investors erased about 40 per cent of Rackable's per share value following that news, leaving it at $24 per share. The company's share price edged up over $27, following the Terrascale acquisition announcement. ®

People's lives are inherently messy, no matter how short or how long and trying to completely quantify a life is probably unattainable. Even huge biographies, like Carl Sandburg's Abraham Lincoln do not do justice to a life. So what can we hope to accomplish as genealogists? How much information is enough? Where do we stop? Or do we ever stop in collecting information? If you are like me, you will always believe that there is one more document and one more place to look. The surprising thing is, that this is usually and almost always correct. There always is at least one more document and at least one more place to look. In the sense that the information we obtain is never absolute, that is complete, without qualification and totally unconditioned, given this definition no genealogical research can be absolute.
In that sense, there is also always some additional information that may be available to be known. There may be one more place to research and look, if we only had the time and resources. Before we even approach some absolute, we recognize that are time and space limitations on our ability to obtain additional information. Of course, from a practical standpoint, you can't keep finding new and unexplored documents about people in the very distant past. The documents might exist, but finding them without unlimited resources becomes an extremely remote possibility. But in any event, you can never assume that you have reached some absolute end of the available records or information that might be gleaned from another source.
It is this open ended nature of genealogy (and history) that keeps some types of people from becoming involved in research. They cannot stand messiness and they abhor incompleteness. Let's face it, they probably are correct in staying away from historical research.
When I am talking about absolutes, I am not referring to the framework of events made up of dates and places. In one sense, an event may be an absolute. It may have happened at a particular place and at a particular time. But knowing that a person was born in a certain place at a certain time is not absolute knowledge about the birth. All you need to do is listen to a discussion about a new baby by members of the mothers family and you will immediately recognize that knowing the date and place can be very far from reporting absolutely all of the information about the birth.
It is understandably true that nearly all of the vast and specific information about an event begins to be lost as soon as the moment passes. We are limited to that small portion of the total event that is recorded in some way either intentionally or unintentionally.
So what does this mean to me, an average researcher? It means that all information about a family or individual is tentative. Quoting from the mathematician Yuri Manin, "A proof only becomes a proof after the social act of "accepting it as a proof." To paraphrase, we prove an event only when we accept the amount of information about the event as sufficient in the context of our society of researchers. For some, a single date is enough and they can stop looking. For others, no information is sufficient to close the investigation because the researcher recognizes that there are no absolutes in genealogy.

No absolutes in genealogy

Good post. Especially agree with your final thought, about a single date being enough for some, yet for others there is never enough information. I believe I've started with the former, now moving towards the latter in my research.ReplyDelete

At last count, 10 clocks surmount the new Durango Arts Center production of A Christmas Carol. They hang here and there above a stage full of props, boxes and a hat tree for quick, on-stage costume changes.
Jacqueline Goldfingers wonderful 2007 adaptation of Charles Dickens 1843 novella bristles with stagecraft. And Director Theresa A. Carson makes the most of multiple narrators, short dramatic scenes, mime and occasional singing.
Carson has assembled an interesting cast with a few experienced actors but mostly new faces. Freddy McDaniel is a delightfully crabby Scrooge. Newcomer Larry Leonard plays the beleaguered Bob Cratchit and begins the play bent over at Scrooges desk. The rest of the cast members take on different roles. All join together for caroling, the Fezziwig party and other scenes.
Throughout, theres a sense of time ticking and tocking away. Doorbells ring, midnight chimes, and on each of Scrooges three imaginary escapades, the cast circles and whispers Tick-tock, Tick-tock.
Its a great device for upping the suspense, one of many enhancements Carson has made to heighten the drama of this familiar tale.
At Tuesday nights dress rehearsal, the cast ran through the 80-minute production as if it were opening night. Only the fog machine balked, and vocal production seemed uneven.
Carson and theater colleague John Mark Zink have created a set with an illusion of a cobblestone street. But mostly they rely on imaginative staging and props to suggest Scrooges shop, apartment, childhood school and cemetery. Zinks lighting design is particularly effective, carefully using simple drop spots, color filters and blackouts. Diane Panelli expertly operates the light and sound boards and Alyse Neuberts costumes enhance the period atmosphere.
Three able Christmas ghosts guide Scrooge through his nightmare delusions: Past clearly articulated by Pearce Fazekas, Present the fleet-worded Robert Harrington-Megason, and Future the chilling Bradley M. Abeyta in black robe and death mask. Abeyta also excellently portrays nephew Fred.
In addition to Master McDaniel, the cast includes those mentioned above plus Kim Allen (Mrs. Cratchit), Mandi Arcomano (Belle), Isabelle Herringer (little girl, young Scrooge and others), James Rollins (apprentice Scrooge), Brandi Stepp (Mrs. Fezziwig) and Tanner Young as Marleys ghost and others).
Besides the reluctant fog machine, a few minor glitches and singing that needed a lot more energy and focus, the production Tuesday was performance ready. This is definitely family fare, and its wonderful to see so many new faces on the DAC stage.

Nicholas Hoult experienced a "new scale of panic" while filming his first lead movie role because he could no longer "coast along under the radar" as a supporting actor.
The 23 year old found fame as a child star, appearing in 2002's About a Boy alongside Hugh Grant, and has gone on to land parts in films including A Single Man and X-Men: First Class.
This year's (13) fairy tale blockbuster Jack The Giant Slayer marks Hoult's time as a leading man, and he admits the prospect was daunting.
He tells Britain's Elle magazine, "Before, the pressure wasn't on me - other people were in the leads and I could coast along under the radar. But when you step up to do the lead, it's a new scale of panic. It's resting on your shoulders.
"I read an interview with Daniel Craig and he says he still gets nervous playing Bond, knowing it's such an expensive production. And that's Daniel Craig - he's already a movie star! It's even more terrifying for me."

Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani's battle against the Brooklyn Museum over "Sensation" has turned into the biggest arts/public policy story to hit the stands since Karen Finley's crusade against the NEA. Mayor and Museum are now duking it out in the courts, with the Museum suing the City in Federal court for violating its First Amendment Rights, while in State court City Hall petitions to evict the Museum from the premises it has occupied since 1893.
On 20 October, in the latest in a series of plot twists, Deputy Mayor Joseph Lhota acknowledged under cross-examination in State court that the Brooklyn Museum Corporation - not the City - owns the Museum's 1.5 million artworks, the second largest collection in the country after the Metropolitan's, and, if evicted, could pack them up and take them somewhere else - to Los Angeles, for example.
That the Mayor would desire the dissolution of a collection which took over a century to acquire seems extreme, but his lawsuit calls for a court order to compel the Corporation to "surrender the premises and the building thereon to the City." "I just can't believe he means it," said Frieda Rosenthal, one of the Museum's trustees. "What would the city do with the building? It's all been redone."
Commented another trustee, Barbara K. Debs: "I think it's always been threatening gestures...It's very hard for me to figure out the real motives of any of this. It just strikes me as bizarre."
According to a recent survey of the executive directors of 70 leading NYC cultural institutions, 95% of those polled support the museum in its battles. Many expressed fury with hizzoner. "He is an embarrassment to all intelligent New Yorkers," declared one respondent under the veil of anonymity. Charged another: "The Mayor is fascist and dangerous."
And the Museum? While almost half of those polled believe it put on "Sensation" for commercial rather than aesthetic reasons, few were appalled. As one respondent put it: "Why shouldn't they want crowds?"
Most interestingly perhaps, the survey suggests that the Brooklyn Museum's experience may influence others to take fewer risks. Asked if they thought the controversy would have a "chilling effect," 58% said yes. Offered one pollee: "It already has...All arts groups are terrified of losing city money."
One player who probably isn't suffering financially, however, is Chris Offili, creator of the now infamous Black Madonna, who is currently on a roll with a one-man show in Chelsea. As for "Sensation" - which, incidentally, opened to less than sensational reviews - it can be viewed online on David Bowie's official web site.
Kati Sounds Off:
One night late last month I splurged and took a cab home from way uptown to our apartment near Union Square. The traffic was terrible - they're making a movie the driver explained - oh god a movie I thought, steeling myself like a proper New Yorker to react with contempt for the biz. (New Yorkers are too cool to turn their heads when a film is shooting down the block - too hip to stop and ask one of the guys with walkie talkies who the star is. This is New York after all: we're about High Art, we're not LA.)
The cab sputtered along and I became more and more restive every time the meter ratcheted up another thirty cents; and then suddenly there we were, swinging past the Flatiron building, onto Fifth Avenue - the entire avenue awash with violet and white light, festooned with Christmas garlands and mistletoe stars. Arnold Schwartznegger look-alikes prowled around looking important. Enormous trailers and sleek Cadillacs lined the sidestreets. Cameras strained overhead and a huge spot poured light onto the scene as though onto the set of Truffaut's "Day for Night."
They're making a movie! I thought - a remake of "Shaft," as it turned out, with Vanessa Williams and Samuel Jackson - and it was as if we had turned a corner, accidentally, into an unexpected and magical world: a world of expanded possibilities.
The police love film shoots for the overtime they pay, the Mayor for the revenue generated: $2.57 billion in 1998 alone from film and television combined. There are, however, other reasons to root for moviemaking in the Big Apple. It makes life here more exciting, sets up a tension on the streets between make-believe and reality, and transforms the City itself into a giant stage-set on which narratives and meta-narratives are created. NYC as an actuality exists side-by-side with a celluloid city - a compound pieced together from the NYC of every movie ever shot in New York from "King Kong" to "Breakfast at Tiffany's" to "Saturday Night Fever." This celluloid city is itself a kind of giant artwork - an historical artifact - and perhaps, in the end, will prove as important culturally as Lincoln Center or the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
So what if filmmaking interferes with parking? Real New Yorkers never park anyway!

J. M. Barrie, the creator of Peter Pan, once said, "We are all failures - at least, the best of us are." This quote can serve to remind us that without making an attempt, we cannot succeed in anything.
No one likes to admit the possibility of failure, but if you find yourself not admitted to the graduate schools you applied to, it is important to view this as a setback rather than a defeat. The fact that you were not admitted does not mean you are unsuitable for graduate level work. The schools to which you applied could have lacked the funding to let in everyone they would have liked or they may have simply had an overwhelming number of qualified applicants. The professors reviewing your application could have had different interests than yours, or they could have just made a mistake and turned away applicants who would have done very well in their program.
The issue is what can you do now?
Applying to graduate school is much easier when you are already familiar with the process. Most people's test scores improve when taking the tests again because they the format and challenges and therefore know how to prepare properly. Similarly, if you have already written application essays, you are familiar with the basic procedure and can hone your skills and your essay. You can also have your essays edited by someone who can help you make it the best possible.
Another key factor to the application process is references. Improving references can be slightly trickier since it doesn't depend solely on you. However, if you didn't take advantage of providing professors with a clear resume and helpful information, doing so can improve the recommendations they provide. You can also look for different people to provide you with recommendations.
Gain experience in a field that is related to your graduate program. This will stand out because it shows you have a sincere interest in the field and are determined to work in that field. Talk to the graduate school and ask what line of work would be most suitable and reapply next year.
If you had originally applied to a school as a doctoral candidate and were not accepted, you may want to look into a Master's degree program as a jumping off point. The requirements are generally less stringent to be accepted into the Master's program and it provides you with the opportunity to adjust to graduate study and see if it's what you want to do. After completing a Master's you will have demonstrated your commitment to graduate study and should have a far easier time being accepted to the doctoral program of your choice.
Another similar option is to apply as a non-degree student. This will generally enable you to take classes with the other degree candidates, allowing both you and your professors to see if you can handle the work. Students who choose this path often have the opportunity to make an extremely positive impression on the professors guiding the acceptance process and when their application comes up the following year, they can have references included from the department to which they're applying.
When you are putting in applications next year, you have several options to consider. Your first approach would be to apply to the same schools as this year. This can be good if you have spent time working with professors from that school or changed your application significantly in some way. However, some committees will be less likely to admit applicants they have previously rejected, so it may be better to find new schools to apply to.
When applying to new schools, one of the primary methods of increasing your chances of acceptance is to pick schools that are either in less desirable locations or have slightly lower reputations.
Overall, the important thing to remember is that you need to be positive and pursue this as an opportunity rather than a roadblock. Good luck. And to leave you with one final thought from C. S. Lewis, "Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement."
If you have completed the basic requirements for medical school, but your grades in those courses do not make you competitive for admission, you should take additional upper-level science courses to boost your science GPA before you apply. You can do this by taking classes as a non-matriculating student at a university OR you can complete a post-baccalaureate program, which is more structured, and enables you to receive on-site advising.
Some post-baccalaureate programs are non-degree programs; others give students the opportunity to complete a master's degree. Of those that offer a master's degree, several are at medical schools, where students typically take their post-bac courses alongside medical students. To assist you with investigating your options, two program lists are given below: one for programs that are not affiliated with a medical school, and another for programs that are. These lists may not quite be complete; a regularly-updated, searchable database of post-baccalaureate programs is available at the AAMC web site.

Whenever we're in Seattle, we make a beeline straight to Pike Place Market. The daily market has brought together farmers, fishmongers, and bakers since 1907. Even if you haven't been there, you're probably familiar with the iconic fish toss. "Hali-BUT! Hali-BUT! Heyyyyyy!" Next thing you know that slippery fishy is being hurled over your head and slapped onto a bed of ice.
We wish every city had a daily market as lively, colorful, and delicious as Pike Place. Not to mention have a mascot as great as Rachel, the bronze pig statue.
In addition to the fresh produce and seafood, we love the hot dogs, doughnuts, chowder, and other snacks from vendors all over the market. Here are eight of our must-stops.
